Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{1/9}}}$

Explanation:

1. Sample space:

Since the each die has 6 different possible outcomes, the number of ways that can the two dice land is 6 × 6 36

2. Number of favorable outcomes:

1 + 1 = 2

1 + 3 = 4

2 + 2 = 4

3 + 1 = 4

Those are a total of 4 different outcomes for the sum of the result rolled is 2 or 4.

3. Probability:

Probability = # favorable outcomes / # possible outcomes

Probability = 4 / 36 = 1 / 9

A composite figure is shown.

VikaD [51]

The surface area of the pyramid is 60 square feet

The surface area of the square prism is 480 square feet

The surface area of the cube is 180 square feet

The total surface area is 720 square feet

<h3>Area of Composite figures</h3>

From the question, we are to calculate the surface area of each part of the composite figure

For the cube

Surface area of a cube is given by

$S = 6l^{2}$

Where $l$ is the length of a side

But only have 5 surfaces of the cube are part of the composite figure

∴ Surface area of the cubic part of the figure = $5l^{2}$

From the given information,

$l = 6 \ feet$

∴ Surface area of the cubic part of the figure = 5 × 6²

Surface area of the cubic part of the figure= 180 square feet

For the square prism

The surface area of a square prism is given by the formula,

$S = 2l^{2} + 4lh$

Where $l$ is the length of the sides and

$h$ is the height

But the square surfaces are not part of the surface of the figure

∴ Surface area of the square prism in the figure = $2l^{2} + 4lh - 2l^{2}$

Surface area of the square prism in the figure = $4lh$

From the given information,

$l = 6 \ feet$

$h = 20 \ feet$

Thus,

Surface area of the square prism part of the figure = 4×6×20

Surface area of the square prism part of the figure = 480 square feet

For the pyramid

The pyramid is a square pyramid

The surface area of a square pyramid is given by

$S = l^{2} + 2l\sqrt{\frac{l^{2} }{4}+h ^{2} }$

Where $l$ is the base length

and $h$ is the height of the prism

But the square base is not part of the surface of the figure

∴ Surface area of the pyramid part of the figure = $l^{2} + 2l\sqrt{\frac{l^{2} }{4}+h^{2} }\ - ( l^{2})$

Surface area of the pyramid part of the figure = $2l\sqrt{\frac{l^{2} }{4}+h^{2} }$

From the given information,

$l = 6 \ feet$

$h = 4 \ feet$

∴ Surface area of the pyramid part of the figure = $2(6)\sqrt{\frac{6^{2} }{4}+4^{2} }$

= $12\sqrt{\frac{36 }{4}+16}$

= $12\sqrt{9+16 }$

= $12\sqrt{25}$

= 12 × 5

= 60 square feet

Hence, the surface area of the pyramid is 60 square feet

Thus,

The total surface area = 180 square feet + 480 square feet + 60 square feet

The total surface area = 720 square feet

Hence, the total surface area is 720 square feet

What is the equation of the line?

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

y=1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(0,2) and (-4,0).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (0,2), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=0 and y1=2.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-4,0), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-4 and y2=0.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m= 0 - 2-4 - 0 or... m= -2-4 or... m=1/2

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=1/2x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(0,2). When x of the line is 0, y of the line must be 2.

(-4,0). When x of the line is -4, y of the line must be 0.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=1/2x+b. b is what we want, the 1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (0,2) and (-4,0).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(0,2). y=mx+b or 2=1/2 × 0+b, or solving for b: b=2-(1/2)(0). b=2.

(-4,0). y=mx+b or 0=1/2 × -4+b, or solving for b: b=0-(1/2)(-4). b=2.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(0,2) and (-4,0)

y=1/2x+2

Please help solve quick

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 + 17x +10 =0

(3x+ ) ( x+ ) =0

We need to factor 10 = 2*5 or 1*10

They are positive since we have all positive terms

3*5 = 15+2 = 17

The 5 needs to multiply the 3 so it goes on the outside

(3x+ ) ( x+ 5 ) =0

That leaves the 2 on the inside

(3x+ 2 ) ( x+ 5 ) =0

Using the zero product property

3x+2 =0 x+5=0

3x = -2 x=-5

x = -2/3 x = -5
